The Pitfalls of the Certificate-Based User Authentication Scheme on Korean Public Websites

The Korean government has employed a certificate-based user authentication scheme powered by Internet Explorer and ActiveX plug-ins for the past two decades. Users must obtain accredited digital certificates, install all required plug-ins on their machines, and undergo all user authentication procedures. Most clients mistakenly take a series of authentication procedures for granted and unwittingly make copies of security code cards, store accredited digital certificates on hard disks, and mechanically click “Yes” or “OK”. Public websites lack cross-platform and cross-browser compatibility and discriminate against those who do not use Windows. The government should require public organizations to provide at least a password-based n-factor authentication scheme over SSL/TLS and should reform institutional arrangements so that service providers take primary responsibility for online transactions. This “Galapagos e-government” case illustrates the importance of global technology standards and web accessibility.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the elderly in the United Kingdom: A review study.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly altered the lives and lifestyles of several older populations in the United Kingdom. It was important to note how it has affected their physical, mental, and social health and well-being during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. To study the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the imposed restrictions on the day-to-day lives of the elderly population in the United Kingdom. A review of the published literature on the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences on the older population in the United Kingdom is done. Search engines used for medical databases were Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Internet Explorer. It was found that physical as well as mental well-being was affected in the elderly citizens of the United Kingdom. Mental health studies noted an obvious increase in anxiety and depressive symptoms. Social isolation and reduced access to healthcare services had a deteriorating impact on their social health. Covid-19-related lockdown and pandemic-associated physical, mental, and social well-being effects have been evident in the elderly population in the United Kingdom. The reasons identified for such findings are lack of physical activity, poor social interactions, social isolation, the perceived threat of a pandemic, and poor access to healthcare facilities.

An Analysis of Students’ English Book Entitled “Bahasa Inggris” from Character Education’s Point of View

The important of education today is in line with the explosions of technology used by the students. A lot of students now days using web browser such as: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini, Internet explorer, and others. Cannot deny that those web browser is concern to have data that cannot be responsibility. Thus, make a student have bad behavior which is they did not really understand about the material then just copied into the assignments which can make student lost their characteristic in education. There are 18 characteristics of education mold in the role of Ministry of Education and culture like: religiosity, honesty, tolerance, discipline, hard work, creativity, independence, democracy, curiosity, sense of nationalism, patriotism, achievement orientation, communicative, love and peace, the foundation of reading, environmental awareness, social care, and responsibility. Those character education should be owned by the students while the learning process occur (with using English book to deliver the materials) as their advantages in the future called personality. With the strong character/personality, students are able to catch their dream easily. English textbook plays an important role in building students character education in learning process because it provides relevant materials in each chapter. Farther, the researcher decided to have a study to analyze the existing of English textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris” for 10th grade of Senior High School in learning process as the implementation of those 18 characters of education in Indonesia.

Machine-Learning-Based Spam Mail Detector

The proliferation of spam emails, a predominant form of online harassment, has elevated the significance of email in daily life. As a consequence, a substantial portion of individuals remain vulnerable to fraudulent activities. Despite Gmail’s “spam mail filtration system,” its effectiveness is not absolute. It occasionally misclassifies legitimate messages, leading to their confinement in the spam folder, or overlooks potentially harmful spam emails. This results in the occurrence of false positives. This research scrutinizes the historical data, cookies, caches, Session Restores, flash artifacts, and super cookies of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome on the Windows 10 platform. Data was collected through Google, Firefox, and Internet Explorer, operating within the Windows 10 environment. It has been observed that browsers store user behavior data on the host computer’s hard drive. The implications of this study hold substantial value for computer forensics researchers, law enforcement professionals, and digital forensics experts. The study leverages Python, alongside pertinent libraries such as pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, scikit-learn, and flask, to facilitate its investigation. The experiment result and analysis show KN and NB algorithms have the best accuracy and precision score compared to other Algorithms.

Giving life to dead: role of WayBack Machine in recovery of dead URLs

PurposeThe purpose of the present study is to identify the active and dead links of uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web references and to compare the effectiveness of Chrome, Google and WayBack Machine in retrieving the dead URLs.Design/methodology/approachThe web references of the Library Hi Tech from 2004 to 2008 were selected for analysis to fulfill the set objectives. The URLs were extracted from the articles to verify their accessibility in terms of persistence and decay. The URLs were then executed directly in the internet browser (Chrome), search engine (Google) and Internet Archive (WayBack Machine). The collected data were recorded in an excel file and presented in tables/diagrams for further analysis.FindingsFrom the total of 1,083 web references, a maximum number was retrieved by the WayBack Machine (786; 72.6 per cent) followed by Google (501; 46.3 per cent) and the lowest by Chrome (402; 37.1 per cent). The study concludes that the WayBack Machine is more efficient, retrieves a maximum number of missing web citations and fulfills the mission of preservation of web sources to a larger extent.Originality/valueA good number of studies have been conducted to analyze the persistence and decay of web-references; however, the present study is unique as it compared the dead URL retrieval effectiveness of internet explorer (Chrome), search engine giant (Google) and WayBack Machine of the Internet Archive.Research limitations/implicationsThe web references of a single journal, namely, Library Hi Tech, were analyzed for 5 years only. A major study across disciplines and sources may yield better results.Practical implicationsURL decay is becoming a major problem in the preservation and citation of web resources. The study has some healthy recommendations for authors, editors, publishers, librarians and web designers to improve the persistence of web references.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS

Visual impairment is a disability resulting in partial or complete loss of vision. It results in hindrance to performing daily chores, thereby decreasing the quality of life. This study aims to augment the user’s experience with digital interfaces (e.g., the display system of personal computers and smartphones) through the design of an efficient system enabling easier and more effective user navigation. Assistive technology for the visually impaired and blind people is a research field that is gaining increasing prominence owing to an explosion of new interest in it from disparate disciplines. The field has a very relevant social impact on our ever-increasing aging and blind populations. While many excellent state-of-the-art accounts have been written to date, all of them are subjective in nature. We performed an objective statistical survey across the various sub-disciplines in the field and applied information analysis and network-theory techniques to answer several key questions relevant to the field. To analyze the field, we compiled an extensive database of scientific research publications over the last two decades. We inferred interesting patterns and statistics concerning the main research areas and underlying themes, identified leading journals and conferences, captured growth patterns of the research field; identified active research communities, and present our interpretation of trends in the field for the near future. The study of the educational process of students with visual impairments shows that they can generally receive a successful education on an equal basis with others. On the other hand, the educational process of students with visual impairments is accompanied by several difficulties associated with the fact that they cannot see. One of the ways to effectively solve this problem is computer assistive technologies based on programs for the blind and visually impaired, information sources (through sound reproduction, an auxiliary point, or listening to a large text). Computer assistive technologies are easy to understand and allow you to work independently with a regular personal computer, and general-purpose programs (MS Word, Internet Explorer, etc.) to obtain a normal user experience. For students with visual impairments, these functions have a significant compensatory effect, allowing assistance to the visually impaired ( scanning, reading plain text, preparing printed documents, etc.).

TPD: a web tool for tipping-point detection based on dynamic network biomarker.

Tipping points or critical transitions widely exist during the progression of many biological processes. It is of great importance to detect the tipping point with the measured omics data, which may be a key to achieving predictive or preventive medicine. We present the tipping point detector (TPD), a web tool for the detection of the tipping point during the dynamic process of biological systems, and further its leading molecules or network, based on the input high-dimensional time series or stage course data. With the solid theoretical background of dynamic network biomarker (DNB) and a series of computational methods for DNB detection, TPD detects the potential tipping point/critical state from the input omics data and outputs multifarious visualized results, including a suggested tipping point with a statistically significant P value, the identified key genes and their functional biological information, the dynamic change in the DNB/leading network that may drive the critical transition and the survival analysis based on DNB scores that may help to identify 'dark' genes (nondifferential in terms of expression but differential in terms of DNB scores). TPD fits all current browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer. TPD is freely accessible at http://www.rpcomputationalbiology.cn/TPD.

Active Choice vs. Inertia? An Exploratory Assessment of the European Microsoft Case’s Choice Screen

Abstract In January 2009, the European Commission accused Microsoft of extending its monopoly from the operating system market to the browsers market by preinstalling Internet Explorer (IE) and setting it as the users’ default. Microsoft settled the case agreeing to display a choice screen to its users located in the European Economic Area, Croatia, and Switzerland, whose default web browser was Internet Explorer. The remedy would allow Microsoft’s users to freely choose whatever internet browser they preferred. After March 2010, IE’s market share did go down in the EEA, Croatia, and Switzerland. It seems straightforward to attribute IE’s decline to the choice screen itself. However, when considering other developed jurisdictions as a comparison group, the impact of the choice screen on IE’s market share is negligible (roughly, between 1.4 and 2 percent). This finding invites us to assess the potential causes of default effects and the effectiveness of strategies that analysts, policymakers, and enforcers have assumed to be effective. This work argues that the theory of harm and the remedies that may address consumers’ inertia should be re-examined. Primarily, which types of consumers may stick to default applications, whether choice screens may change the users’ preferences after they have familiarized themselves with an experience good, whether choice screens have so far facilitated the development of competing applications, as well as the reach of choice screens.

Detection and extraction of digital footprints from the iDrive cloud storage using web browser forensics analysis

STorage as a <span>service (STaaS) allows its subscribers the ability to access their stored data with the use of internet enabled digital devices at anywhere, anyplace and anytime. The easy accessibility of cloud storage with digital devices is one of the major benefits of cloud computing but this benefit can also be exploited by cybercriminals to perform various forms of malicious usages. During forensic investigation, forensic examiners are expected to provided evidence in relation to the malicious usages but the physical inaccessibility to the digital artifacts on the cloud servers, the difficulty in retrieving evidential artifacts from various cloud storage services and the difficulty in obtaining forensic logs from the concerned cloud service providers among other factors make it difficult to perform forensic investigations. This paper provided step by step experimental guidelines to extract digital artifacts from Google Chrome and Internet Explorer from Windows 10 personal computer using iDrive cloud storage as a case study. The study used Nirsoft forensic tool to locate the relevant forensic artifacts and an integrated conceptual digital forensic framework was adopted to carry out the investigation.

Web-based text editing system for Nigerian major languages


 
 
 This study developed a web-based text editor to eliminate the incompatibility of computer keyboard with the three major indigenous languages in Nigeria. It also aims to reduce the time taken to produce characters with diacritical marks. The editors produced valid Unicode characters and require pressing less buttons to generating all the symbols of the alphabets for the three major indigenous languages in Nigeria. Client-side technologies were used to develop these applications. Three web pages, designated for Yorùbá, Igbo and Hausa language were generated with HTML. CSS was used to define the look and feel of the HTML elements on each page. Regular Expressions implemented in JavaScript functions were used to convert selected ASCII characters into desired Unicode characters. The editors are available at http://www.gazaliwakil.com.ng. The editors work well on latest version of browsers like (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer). They are very light, consume minimal server resources and can work offline. The system was launched Fifty-one (51) times to extract data comprising the Loading, Scripting, Rendering, Painting, System, and Idle time. The obtained result showed that on the average, it takes about 13.77ms to load the HTML DOM elements, 42.83ms to load the javaScript, 13.10ms and 1.73ms for rendering and painting the page by CSS. Additional time taken are 43.91ms and 3,045.10ms for the system and idle time respectively. A total time of 3,160.43ms (3.16s) is required when any of the editors is launched before the page can accept inputs from the users. It also takes the editors 2.66ms to add diacritical marks on a letter. This would, in effect, not reduce the typing speed of users.
